[TarCoon_CarToo] Hello everyone!
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] I would like to help more people in Japan discover the IndieWeb, so I have written several articles about it in Japanese.
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] ■ The IndieWeb Movement
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] The articles approach the IndieWeb from different perspectives—from its core principles to the distinction between the IndieWeb and corporate owned media, as well as ways of using personal websites alongside social media.
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] An introduction to the IndieWeb’s core principles, including owning your domain, owning your data, and POSSE.
#

#
[TarCoon_CarToo] ■ Why Do We Need Media of Our Own? — Freedom Between Owned Media and the IndieWeb
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] A comparison between corporate owned media and the IndieWeb, exploring what it truly means to have a place of your own on the web.
#

#
[TarCoon_CarToo] ■ The Place Where People Who Find You on Social Media Can Finally Feel at Ease — Why Websites Still Matter
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] An exploration of social media as a place for discovery and personal websites as the canonical home of our work, information, and identity—a lasting foundation for trust.
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] https://tarcoon.me/website-for-trust-not-traffic/
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] The articles are written in Japanese, but I would be very happy if you read them using your browser’s translation feature or another translation tool.
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] I would be delighted if you took a look, and I would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!
#
[TarCoon_CarToo] Compared with English-speaking communities, awareness and practice of the IndieWeb are still relatively limited in Japan. I hope these articles can become a small starting point for more people in Japan to discover the IndieWeb and consider creating their own independent places online.

cathy_codes Hello I'm new here! I attended an IndieWeb meetup in London, UK last Saturday and was recommended to join the discussions online.
#
cathy_codes I've just never really done any coding for fun and got into a computer science degree just because I was good at maths, so I really want to change that!
#
cathy_codes My name is Cathy, despite being a front-end web developer for 12 years now, I haven't made a portfolio or personal website before so I attended the meetup to ask for advice on where to start.

#
cathy_codes I've got a few small project ideas in my brain like:
#
cathy_codes - archiving my book collection so I don't double-dip again, ultimately I want to be able to scan the books rather than keying them in manually.
#
cathy_codes - recipe collection because Notion hasn't been fun
#
cathy_codes - countdown for the next bus and train in my area

#
[capjamesg] Welcome! Feel free to share your site here.
#
tuft Thank you, James. The site is www.gildedyouth.net
#
tuft It's aimed toward people who live life to the fullest, or want to live life to the fullest. And trying to surround ourselves by others who feel similarly.
#
tuft I've found that it just doesn't quite fit, sharing it on big social media sites like Reddit. So I came across indieweb and I'm exploring ways to get a little into this community. I know that some of the people I'm looking to connect with are here.
